Tebow came in on the third snap from scrimmage — a run to the left for a gain of a yard — but afterward, Ryan said the looks they were expecting from the Rams defense were not there anymore. The Tebow package was almost entirely abandoned.

He finished with three snaps from scrimmage and threw a shovel pass on a second quarter fake punt that was stuffed. During his snaps with the offense, he had minus-7 net yards.

“It’s tough to know exactly how the game is going to go and what plays are going to be called,” Tebow said. “It’s trying to be ready at all times.”

Tebow was, of course, the victim of some anonymous attacks by teammates earlier in the week but did his best to downplay the attention he was receiving. At the same time, it looked as though the package of plays he was utilized in was expanding in Seattle after a few more passes were installed.

The only new wrinkle Sunday was a zone-read handoff to Jeremy Kerley, which lost a yard.

“I think we did a good job adjusting,” Ryan said. “I think that was part of the reason you didn’t see more of Tim.”

• The Jets’ special teams woes continued.

A Nick Folk second-quarter field-goal attempt was blocked by Janoris Jenkins, a fake punt by Tebow was stuffed and another kick by Folk, a 44-yarder in the fourth, missed wide left.

The Rams also returned a kickoff for a touchdown late in the second quarter, but it was nullified by a holding penalty.

Rams coach Jeff Fisher was adamant that there was no hold.

“We’re not good enough to overcome those kinds of things and the fact that it wasn’t a hold, but it’s just kind of the way it happens,” he said.

This comes two weeks after a meltdown against Miami — one that special teams coordinator Mike Westhoff called the worst game of his career — where the Jets had a kick and punt blocked and were fooled by an onside kick.

• Before the game, former Jets running back LaDainian Tomlinson stepped back from his claim that Bart Scott and Antonio Cromartie were the anonymous sources who bashed Tebow.

Tomlinson, though, did say that the Jets locker room was “falling apart.”

• Sunday was another rough one for Stephen Hill, who dropped a pair of passes — he said he lost one in the stadium lights — and got called for a costly offensive pass interference penalty.

Hill, who missed a majority of practice this week with a virus, said it had nothing to do with time out.

“Battling this, I mean I’m definitely better than I was during the week,” Hill said.
